Letter from the President-Elect
Dear Fellow Attendees:
Welcome to Miami and our 37th Annual Research Conference.
Policymakers today face many challenges—changes in family formation, poverty and economic inequality, population aging, growth in the demand for educated workers, and rising health care costs
among them. The challenges are deepened by the federal debt which continues to grow every year
with no solution in sight. The theme of this year’s conference, “The Golden Age of Evidenced-Based
Policy,” is well suited to formulating public policy to deal with these problems while achieving
maximum impact using our limited, and in some cases, declining federal resources. The essence of
evidence-based policy is to spend most government funds on programs that have been shown by
rigorous evaluations to produce impacts and to evaluate programs to make sure they continue to
produce the outcomes that justify their funding. As you will see, many of the sessions at this year’s
conference are consistent with the theme of expanding evidence-based policy.
APPAM has always emphasized including diverse participants and perspectives in our Fall Conference. This year, we continue expanding on that diversity by featuring papers, panels, and roundtables that include presenters, chairs, and discussants from a range of disciplines, from a range of
countries, and a multitude of backgrounds.
Thanks to all of you, we had 2,153 submissions this year, a record number. Although we will have
nearly 1,000 papers at this year’s conference (another record), because of the large number of
submissions our acceptance rate was only 44 percent as compared with 58 percent last year. We
wish the acceptance rate could be higher, but we have limited space and time at the conference; so
if we have such a large number of submissions, our acceptance rate must fall. I personally regret
turning down many of the proposed sessions, but we were forced into a high refusal rate by the
large number of high quality proposals.
In addition to the many panels showcasing cutting-edge research, be sure to keep an eye out for
numerous topical roundtables. I think you might also find especially interesting the three invited
symposia – on evidence-based policy in the business world, on the promise and limits of preschool
programs, and on using evidence-based policy in management. Other program highlights include
the New Member and First Time Attendee Reception on Wednesday afternoon, the caucuses on
Saturday morning, and, of course, Jane Waldfogel’s Presidential Address and reception on Friday.
We all owe a huge round of thanks to our Program Committee, especially the chairs, who worked
so hard to build our conference program. And as always, a huge round of thanks to Tara Sheehan,
APPAM’s Executive Director, to Tristanne Staudt, who is the APPAM staffer directly responsible for
the annual conference, and to our other staffers for all their hard work and dedication to make this
conference possible.
Finally, thanks to each of you for attending the conference and for supporting the conference
financially by paying the registration fee and intellectually by presenting papers or participating in
conference sessions. Thanks in large part to you, I am confident that we will have another immensely successful national conference and that we will go home knowing the APPAM provides a highly
effective forum for the exchange of information and ideas about public policy and management.

APPAM is saddened by the
passing of Dennis Smith, a
longtime member of APPAM. Dennis showed his dedication
to public service through years
of teaching at NYU Wagner,
extensive research in criminal
justice and public management,
and active involvement in
APPAM and its committees. He was a frequent chair of the
Public Management section of
the Program Committee and is
largely responsible for growing
that section to the prominence
it enjoys today.

Session Types
The Mobile App
Please note that the listing of papers for panels
may not represent the
order in which they will
be presented. The order
of presentation is determined by the presenters
in coordination with the
session chair.
Thursday's symposia will
be available via webcast
courtesy of Laura and
John Arnold Foundation.
Panel
A panel is the most common type of session. It is paper
dependent and includes three or four paper presenters,
a chair, and one or two discussants. Each presenter is
given a limited time to present their research, after which
the discussant(s) offer insight, ask questions, and discuss
shared elements of the papers. The chair keeps time,
introduces presenters, and guides audience discussion.
The session data in the
printed program is up
to date as of October 9.
For real time information,
check the conference
mobile app.
APPAM does not list the
authors of papers in any
particular order. They
are listed in the order
submitted by the paper
submitter and the order
does not necessarily
indicate who will be presenting each paper. For
up-to-date information
who will present each
paper, please check the
mobile app.
APPAM set up a searchable database of paper
abstracts in the digital
preliminary program. If
the presenters uploaded
a full paper, it can also
be found on the digital
preliminary program at
APPAM.org

Additionally, APPAM will
also webcast Friday's
symposium:
Can Preschool Programs Implemented
on a Broad Scale Have
Lasting Impacts?
3:15 pm – 4:45 pm
See APPAM.org for
more information.
Roundtable
A roundtable is a discussion based session featuring
a moderator and up to five speakers. The topic is not
paper dependent and the discussion between speakers is designed to encourage audience discussion and
questions. Speakers are included based on their varying
perspectives, backgrounds, and diversity of knowledge.
Roundtables are differentiated from panels in the listings
by color, roundtables will be shaded.
Caucus
A caucus is an informal discussion on a trending policy
topic or data set. Each caucus is led by a moderator who
will guide the attendees through discussion and answer
questions. There is no presentation and the topic is not
based around a specific paper or research project but
may focus on a data set or government program.
Symposium
Two symposia will be held on Thursday and one symposium on Friday. These events do not run against any
other sessions or events. A symposium is similar to a
roundtable in that it is not paper dependent, but rather
centers around a single topic, with speakers discussing
the topic from varying perspectives. Symposium themes
are chosen by the President-Elect for their timeliness and
speakers are invited to share their opinions and viewpoints.
Poster
All poster sessions will be held in the Exhibit Hall. This
year there will be about 300 poster presentations. A poster session consists of authors presenting their research
in poster format, discussing their work, and answering
questions. A first, second and third place winner will be
selected from among the posters displayed each day.
Presenters were given
the option of uploading
their slides and handouts to the mobile app;
check there for digital
versions. If you attend a
session where the slides
or handouts were not
uploaded to the mobile
app, encourage presenters to send their files to
APPAM for upload after
the conference, for ease
of access.

Important scholarly work has
been done that uses big data
in a way that is valuable to
policy makers in areas as
varied as finance, labor, education, science, innovation,
transportation and development. This JPAM workshop
seeks to assess as well as
showcase cutting edge empirical work in this vein.

Many of the nation’s major
corporations use random-assignment designs to test
new products, implement
employee training programs,
and measure customer
reactions to advertising. Jim
Manzi, whose company has
helped over 150 businesses
conduct these evaluations,
will describe how his company employs randomized
controlled trials and the
implications of his experience
in the private sector for creating evidence-based social
programs.
Lunch will be provided for all
attendees but space is limited
and a ticket is required.
The claim of a “Golden Age of
Evidence Based Policy” depends on the use of evidence
at every stage of the policy
and program implementation
processes. At the implementation stage, until now the use
of evidence has largely consisted of managers relying on
operational feedback to guide
decisions. The prospects and
challenges of adding program
impacts to the theory and
practice of management is
the focus of this session.

Although the public perception is that high quality
preschool programs can
significantly boost the development of poor children, there
is lively debate about whether
national implementation of
a preschool program such
as the one proposed by the
Obama administration would
produce lasting impacts on
the intellectual and social
development of poor children.
This symposium will examine
the issues surrounding this
debate.
6:15 pm - 7:45 pm

A little known fact among social
scientists is that many of the
nation’s major corporations,
including Bank One, Google,

Macy’s, and many others, use
random-assignment designs to
test new products, employee
training programs, customer
reactions to advertising, store
placement of products, and a
host of other issues that impact
their bottom line. Jim Manzi,
whose company has helped over
150 businesses conduct these
evaluations, will describe how
his company employs randomized controlled trials to help
company’s improve their bottom
line and the implications of his
experience in the private sector
for creating evidence-based
social programs.

Shelly Wilkie Martinez, U.
S. Office of Management
and Budget; Matthew
Weidinger, U.S. House of
Representatives, Ways
and Means Committee;
James Sullivan, University of Notre Dame
Description:
The panel will discuss the
implications of the Ryan/
Murray Evidence-Based
Policymaking Commission, especially its
provisions on improving
administrative data on
federal programs and
tax expenditures and
broader access to federal
data in order to advance
program evaluation and
social science research.
Topics will include the
need for linking data
across programs and
to survey data, possible
ways analysts could
access such data, and
how confidentiality of the
data will be preserved.
The untapped value of
administrative data will
be highlighted as well
as efforts underway to improve existing datasets.

Speakers:
Rekha Balu, MDRC;
Donald L. Compton,
Florida State University;
Christopher Lemons,
Vanderbilt University;
Barbara Foorman, Florida Center for Reading
Research
Description:
Rather than merely
answering summative
questions such as “can
a new approach improve
reading achievement,”
policy researchers must
now contend with design
questions that address
when, for whom, and why
reading intervention is
effective.
This roundtable discusses papers that address
these design questions,
and the challenges
of replicating results
or finding impacts for
programs implemented at
scale given the variety of
design choices in play.

program to demonstrate
success in a randomized
controlled trial; HOPE
has now been replicated
or adapted in more than
twenty states. 24/7 Sobriety is an SCF program for
repeat alcohol-involved
offenders, started in 2005
in South Dakota and now
established or piloted in
at least nine states. Both
HOPE and 24/7 are listed
as “Promising” in the US
Department of Justice’s

Eva Vivalt, New York
University
Description:
Numerous federally-funded systematic reviews
have been established to
provide a trusted source
of information about
what works in topics
ranging from educational
interventions to criminal
justice to medical practice. Often, the results of
the systematic reviews
are published on a public
website, available to
practitioners seeking
to implement a new
program or intervention,
and to policymakers and
federal staff seeking to
fund effective programs.
This discussion will
highlight the promise
that systematic reviews
hold for informing policy,
cautions about using the
reviews, and enhancements that can further
increase reviews' utility.

Description:
This roundtable will
summarize an important
initiative in antipoverty
policy. AEI and Brookings
have jointly sponsored a
group of leading experts
on poverty and inequality
to seek an agreed agenda on these critical problems. The group numbers
17 and is about equally
divided between liberals
and conservatives. Several of them are APPAM
members. Our concern
is that progress against
poverty has stalled, while
inequality is growing, and
yet a partisan impasse
in Washington has
prevented serious new
initiatives. We share a
common concern that
inaction will render our
social problems even
more intractable. Despite
our differences, we seek
a common way forward
toward a more hopeful
and less divided America.
Description:
Ongoing social, economic, demographic,
and policy changes are
transforming the way
Americans prepare for
retirement and raising
concern about the economic well-being of future
retirees.This roundtable
bring together leading
retirement experts to sort
through the contradictory
evidence and debate the
retirement prospects of
the baby boomers and
later generations.
Speakers:
Jon Baron, Laura and
John Arnold Foundation;
Benjamin L. Castleman,
University of Virginia;
Benjamin Goodman,
Duke University; Mark
Testa, University of North
Carolina
Description:
A common misperception is that randomized
controlled trials (RCTs)
in the public sector are
inherently expensive and
cumbersome, requiring
large contractors, multiple
staff to implement new
programs, collect data
from scratch, and spend
time following up on
subjects by hand. Due to
this misperception, many
policymakers shy away
from RCTs, thinking that
it is infeasible to spend
millions of dollars on
new RCTs in a time of
budget constraints.This
roundtable will discuss
new examples of large,
low-cost RCTs that rely
on administrative data
to measure outcomes of

Description:
The claim of a “Golden Age of
Evidence Based Policy” depends
on the use of evidence at every
stage of the policy and program
implementation processes. At the
implementation stage, until now
the use of evidence has largely
consisted of managers relying
on operational feedback to guide
decisions. These feedback and
action cycles have often taken
the form of “performance-stat”
types of processes; i.e., reports
from the field in real time on
performance metrics. But even
the best of these measures fall
short of gauging impacts, or
the value-added of intervention
programs. Because funders and
the public increasingly demand
evidence of impacts, managers
increasingly recognize the need
to supplement operational feedback with the results of rigorous
evaluations that assess program
impacts. The prospects and
challenges of adding program
impacts to the theory and practice of management is the focus
of this session.

Location:

Detailed Schedule
Friday November 13
Join your peers for a lecture
titled, Public Policy and Educational Inequality, by 2015 Spencer Foundation Award winner
Sean Reardon, Stanford University. The lecture will explore the
two competing narratives about
the role of schooling in American
society. One sees schooling as
an equalizing force, the agent of
the American Dream; the other
sees US schools as deeply unequal institutions that exacerbate
social inequalities. Which is true?
How should we think about the
potential of education policy, and
public policy more broadly, to
reduce social inequality?
Breakfast will be provided for all
attendees.

Description:
In 2010, the Department
of Health and Human Service (HHS), Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) was
established to support the
implementation and evaluation of evidence-based
programs to address teen
pregnancy prevention
(TPP) across the country.
This was one of six major
evidence-based policy
initiatives currently funded
across the federal government, the largest federal
program ever directed at
teen pregnancy prevention and the first to focus
solely on interventions
with evidence behind
them. The roundtable will
examine findings from this
program.
Description:
begin with a brief video
presentation by Sir Tony
Atkinson, summarizing
key conclusions in his
new book, “Inequality:
What Can Be Done?”.
The discussants on
the roundtable will then
assess the policy package
that is at the heart of the
book, focusing on policy
implications for the United
States.

Description:
Existing research reveals
an association between a
lack of safe, high quality
housing and poor academic and labor market
outcomes. But standard
housing subsidies may fall
short in providing families
with a strong platform for
economic mobility. What
housing policy reforms
might better enable subsidized housing residents
to advance in school and
succeed in the labor market? This roundtable of
experts will consider how
housing policy can serve
as a basis for addressing
economic inequality.

Description:
In 2013 nearly 680,000
children were reported
by states to be victims of
abuse or neglect. Worse,
1,520 children died from
maltreatment that year,
nearly 80 percent of
them at the hands of their
parents. With support
from the federal government and the states, local
governments respond
to this on-going tragedy
by conducting programs
to receive reports about
child maltreatment, to
investigate the reports,
and to offer services to
families determined to
need them. States and
local governments have
led an evidence-based
policy movement by
making serious efforts to
implement prevention and
treatment programs that
are supported by rigorous
evidence of positive
impacts on these families
and children.

Description:
There is increasing
interest from policy
makers, practitioners, and
scholars in the potential
for two-generation service
models as an effective
strategy for breaking the
cycle of intergenerational
poverty. Traditionally, most
social service programs
focus either on low-income children, e.g. Head
Start or school-based interventions, or adults, e.g.
employment or training interventions. But decades
of research have shown
that the results of these
single-focus interventions
are generally modest and
that too many families
remain in deep poverty
and stuck in chronically
disadvantaged, racially
segregated and chronically violent communities
(Sampson 2012, Sharkey
2013).

Award Lecture
Location:

Join fellow members for lunch
where the following awards
where will presented:
• International Comparative
Policy Award
• Raymond Vernon Memorial Award
• Best Ph.D. Dissertation Award
• Exemplar Award
After lunch, Exemplar Award
winner Rebecca Blank, Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and former APPAM
President, will address the
membership with a lecture titled,
Managing Big Public Institutions:
Stories from the Front Lines.
This talk will discuss some of the
challenges and opportunities that
confront leaders in large public
institutions. Public institutions
are frequently confronted with
changes in budgets and in public
expectations. Among the topics
to be discussed: working with
legislative oversight, simultaneously managing both inside and
outside audiences, motivating
change in a large bureaucracy,
and dealing with the very large
number of stakeholders. Comments are based from Rebecca's time running a big Federal
agency and running a big state
University.
Members will also participate in
the annual membership meeting,
formally elect the leadership to
the Policy Council and discuss
Association business.

University
Description:
showcase important new
initiatives in national child
support policy. The U.S.
Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE)
oversees and largely
funds the national child
support system, which
collects support from
absent parents for the
benefit of single-parent
families. But many absent
parents fail to pay support
due to irregular employment. Many localities
have instituted work programs to which nonpaying
parents can be assigned,
to raise their work levels.
Evaluations of these
programs are moderately
encouraging.

University; Sara Mead, Bellwether Associates; Russ Whitehurst,

Yoshikawa, New York University
Although the public perception
is that high quality preschool
programs can significantly boost
the development of poor children, there is lively debate about
whether national implementation
of a preschool program such as
the one proposed by the Obama
administration would produce
lasting impacts on the intellectual and social development of
poor children. Debate in this
symposium will address four
issues: 1) whether small-scale
model programs can produce
lasting impacts and if so on what
outcomes; 2) whether national
scale-up of preschool programs
can produce lasting impacts on
most preschool children who
participate; 3) what should be
the characteristics of an ideal
national program and what local
entities should implement the
program?; and 4) how much
would a national program cost?
APPAM President Jane
Waldfogel will deliver an
address entitled The Next War
on Poverty.

Description:
A growing number of cities
and states are now using
an innovative, relatively
risk-free approach to fund
these programs. Pay for
Success (PFS) financing
allows governments to
maximize the services
provided to those in need,
while ensuring taxpayer
dollars are allocated
in the smartest, most
efficient way. Under the
PFS model, governments
identify programs with the
potential to solve high-priority social problems, and
private investors cover the
cost of those programs
up front. The government
only pays the bill if an
independent evaluator determines that the program
has achieved its goals
and produced a cost savings. This evidence-based
approach helps to reorient
government spending
by directing resources
to programs that are
proven to actually make a
difference.

Description:
Quantitative policy
analysis is often used
retrospectively to evaluate
the consequences of a
policy after it has been
implemented. But it also
plays an important role
in providing guidance to
policy makers as they
consider potential policy
alternatives. Although
some policy options are
preferred (or disliked) by
legislators because of
ideological or political considerations, many debates
about policy center on
empirical questions: How
much will this option cost?
How many people will win
or lose?

Roundtable participants
will discuss the policies,
processes, challenges,
and strategies for promoting evidence-based
policies from these three
different perspectives.
Panelists will discuss the
unique roles that each
type of actor can play,

government's focus on
evidenced-based policy.
Description:
Two-generation approaches- which provide
opportunities for and meet
the needs of children and
their parents togetherare gaining momentum
across the country. At the
same time, the opportunity to address the unique
needs of student parents
is increasing. According
to 2013 data compiled by
the Institute for Women's
Policy Research, nearly
25 percent of college
students in the U.S., or
four million students,
have dependent children.
Among low-income and
first-generation college
students, more than a
third are parents, and
students of color.

Description:
Across America, leaders
of large cities have
taken a variety of steps to
combat inequality within
their borders. Several
cities enacted or moved
to enact higher minimum
wages in 2014, and as of
early 2015, 18 cities had
passed paid sick days
laws; concerns about
housing affordability and
worker benefits have also
spurred action in many
cases. Elected officials in
cities whose electorates
skew more liberal than
the nation have emerged
as leading proponents
of more robust policy
responses. The capacity
of municipal governments
to meaningfully address
inequality may be limited,
however, by their inability
to regulate the flow of
people and commerce
across their borders.
